This initiative falls within Arcese’s charity projects that links the company to sports as a opportunity for growing and sharing. Discovery Kenya aims at cultivating the passion for running to learn how to win in sports as well as in life.

Kaptabuk school

The Kaptabuk Primary School is located in the West Pokot county and welcomes over 500 children and 12 teachers. For over 15 years, thanks to the Discovery Kenya project and the support of Rosa Associati, every year, hundreds of children have the opportunity to make the most of their talents, by studying and running. Thanks to Arcese’s support, the school could improve and extend the facilities by building a dormitory for the kids who live in distant villages.

Training camps

Training camps are the heart of the training, as they provide numerous athletes with the possibility to start a career in sports.
